So i installed my springs yesterday and was expecting a good drop. But that was not the case it looked basically stock height. Does it take a bit for them to set in? I've had springs on my other cars and the minute they are in it's dropped. So my question is has this happened to anyone with these springs or any other springs for that matter? And do they set in after a bit? According to the specs it supposed to have lowered it 1.75 and when the set in about 2in.

Thanks.

Damn, pretty low drop! I have Eibach pro-kit. It did settle just a tad after a couple of days, nothing to write home about. But with your srping and that big of a drop, you should be able to see a huge difference right when you install them. Just make sure the spring is sitting on the seat correctly. Besides that, I have no idea.

Hope everything turns out fine...

Damn, I hope that you have front and rear camber kits, your going to need them.

Yes i agree it should have looked dropped from the moment i put the Z down on the ground but doesnt. Ima wait a week if i see nothing. Im returning them.



Yeah im getting a camber kit soon. But from the looks of it right now i dont need it. HA!



Has this happened to anyone with sprint springs?

I would have a peak and see if the rubber spring moounts are sitting good at the bottom and top of your springs... easy to check the rears anyways...

Yeah, get those pics up tomorrow so we can see if the springs are seated correctly. These are one of my spring choices, so, I hope this gets solved and it actually drops the car 1.75+".

I remember while installing them checking twice on how they sit. But maybe that could be it...too bad i dont have my jack right now my buddy is using it to lower his subie.
I see a slight difference but not the 1.75 difference.

i do see a lil difference in drop but i agree with you it should be more. i have h&r sport springs (1.3 front and 1.0 rear) and i noticed a big difference in drop after install.

Interesting, there's some drop but not alot. If you were dropped 1.75'' loke it supposed to you wouldn't have any wheel gap at all.

Gove them a week or two, they'll settle in. It definetly looks lower.

skunk281

Yeah i guess i'll wait for two weeks to roll by then go from there.
Alot of ppl keep tellin me to let them set.
So im gonna do that and i'll see what happens!

Another question when installing springs do you all use the bottom rubber boots?
